BBQ Brisket is good, but imo it’s something your bubbeh roasts.

lol no

KC does everything and they do it amazing. Allow me to appeal to noted food authority, Tony Bourdain:

:People may disagree on who has the best BBQ ,"Bourdain wrote. “Here, the brisket (particularly the burnt ends), pulled pork, and ribs are all of a quality that meet the high standards even of Kansas City natives. It’s the best BBQ in Kansas City , which makes it the best BBQ in the world.

You think I’m too harsh on Alabama?

I’m selling my CLVS stonk for this take alone.

The scientific ranking of bbq is

Side ribs>back ribs> chicken> pulled pork>beans>brisket

Thank you so much!

I experienced -20F on my Alaska trip. We were in a low prairie between two mountains where cold air settles and create some really interesting ice conditions. We were there for a little over two hours. When I would squint through my viewfinder to take a photo, my eyelashes would freeze together. One of my camera lenses froze and stopped working. I had no idea that was possible.

My car stalled yesterday after running for 30 min. It’s close to new. Things aren’t meant to operate at -30!

This is not bad. I’d make it Derek Zoolander so they know I mean the person.

I could also go with historically stupid stuff like: “It was the Napoleon invading Russia of arguments.” if anyone has any ideas. Napoleon funnier than Hitler imo.

It was the Shuster of arguments - which 22 would also find hilarious but no one else would get.

It was the Chris Webber timeout of arguments.

It was the Pete Carroll throwing it on 2nd and goal at the 1 of arguments.

Even with a engine block heater?

Back in college I drove with friends from the Twin Cities to UW Stout to party for one night. The temperature plunged down to -30, and my buddy’s car wouldn’t start the next morning. So, we were stuck there for 4 days. Wearing the same clothes, going to house parties. All of us crashed in a friend’s dorm room, and they had their TV/DVD playing “A Clockwork Orange” on repeat because they’d made some kind of prop bet to play it for a month straight. Every day we’d try to start the car, and it wouldn’t. We finally bought like 500 ft of extension cords, and ran them from a 7/11(the manager took pity on us) to the engine block heater he had in his car. Left it plugged in for 12 hours, the car started, and then we returned the extension cords before driving back home.

2015 Cruze, plugged in and everything.

So apparently that Astral Star Codex’s followers are a bunch of high-brow fedora types who hate the left and ignore all the nonsense that comes out of the right? Do I have that about right?

Because that sucks. I don’t get the sense he’s like that from his writing. There are plenty of issues you can criticize the left for. But to ignore the right completely (which he doesn’t do) is just ludicrous.

I don’t even know what that means. Eich is kind of a weird case because Mozilla didn’t fire him until the free market spoke. Companies like Ok Cupid put up disclaimers about Eich if you visited with Firefox.

I’ve got in long arguments with Eich on twitter. He’s exactly how I just described the Astral Star Codex followers.

We’ve known forever that corporations are a political force in this country. They just usually do it behind the scenes with lobbyists.

I guess you could argue to make it illegal for one company to target an individual at another company for their political views. If the public wants to boycott a company that’s fine. But companies boycotting each other maybe is out of bounds?

I guess I am somewhat sympathetic to the idea that Eich shouldn’t lose his job just because he supported Prop 8. Seems like there should have to be some hate speech involved.

aquarium lamp. they all look like that
